I’ve been sending my kids to this childcare centre for over 2 years now, and I’m really happy with it. My older daughter graduated from here and had a great experience, and now my younger one is also enjoying his time. The staff are always kind, helpful and caring. I get regular updates and photos, which I really appreciate it’s nice. My kid loves soccer, yoga, and language classes. It’s a safe, fun, and supportive people. I would definitely recommend it to other families.

Response from the owner 25 Aug 2025

As both a mum and an educator, I couldn’t be happier with Little Zaks West Hoxton. My two children attend the centre in different rooms, and I feel at ease knowing they’re in such capable hands. The educators work together to foster a nurturing, safe, and welcoming environment where my children are not only cared for but also given meaningful learning opportunities. It’s clear that the team takes great pride in what they do. I drop my kids off every day knowing they’re in good hands—both in terms of their emotional well-being and their development.

Response from the owner 22 Aug 2025

Thank you so much for sharing your experience Katelyn. We’re delighted to hear that you feel at ease entrusting your children with us and that both their wellbeing and learning are supported each day.
